A little investigation showed that at no point is zip ever installed (apt-get install zip) which is a requirement for building the python library correctly during the make step. Once I installed zip and rebuilt the project the scripts worked perfectly, so assuming I did not make some illogical error occur, perhaps zip should be added to the initial apt-get install command?
Thanks for the great guide, made things very simple!
PLEASE NOTE:
I made a post the other day outside of this thread, if you update to kernel 2.6.27-11 by choice or automagically, in SOME cases it will delete files it sees as not being used, in my case it was certain XBMC dependant files.
SO just to be safe, IF you upgrade then rerun the sudo apt-get install "list of files from the wiki or from the readme.linux" If you are using this wiki then Olympia has included all the Readme.linux files plus so I would use the list from the wiki file for this thread.
This kernel upgrade did not propagate to Alsa or Nvidia drivers on me, but if you notice issues there it could be a problem with the update overwriting those as well. You can reinstall alsa as per the the wiki and it will overwrite fine and the Nvidia driver, well if you are unsure then you can run the installation again with --uninstall at the end and this will remove it for sure and then you can rerun the install and setup the video driver again. Make a backup copy of your xorg.conf file prior to doing this so you can rename it back following the reinstallatiion. - REMEMBER - You only need to do this if you notice issues follwing the kernel upgrade.
